Yup, and some people rate some really good mangas very low only based on the first few chapters(they usually don't understand anything from just the 1st chapter,well, they should read further to decide right?). And even if the first few chapters are really great and they end up rating those really high then they should also remember to change the ratings later when the plot starts getting REALLY shitty.
And many bl stories with wonderful plots had such horrible endings(their publishing websites are to blame too but that's another thing)
Maybe they gave 5stars 'cause they like the story. Everyone as their own taste after all.
Don't get interested by a story just because they are high ranked (don' t know if that makes sens) but on personal judgement, like the cover, summary and all. What makes you waste your time is that you read a story because others ranked it well. There's also great story which are underrated.
please stop rating ongoing stories with 5 stars. most of them end up being shitty. and if you think a story is shitty despite the high stars, fucking vote down to help others avoid any further waste of time. some of us might have the the time to read shitty stories but some just don't have time for that. think about those people who actually have a life.
interesting /= good
some interesting concepts end up with pretty unsatisfactory or predictable endings because it's all the same shitty recycled plot sprinkled with a new concept. some stories pull this off but some just really piss you off. this is only my two cents. thanks for coming to my tedtalk.
